Who Is Barack Obama?

By Peter Pike
November 4, 2008

Who is Barack Obama, you ask?

WHO is Barack Obama?

Why, he is the 44th President of the United States.

That’s who!

Perhaps the darkest, most selfish, and certainly the stupidest period in our nation’s political history ends abruptly with one of its greatest moments:  the election of an African-American president.

I feel privileged to be alive to witness it.  It was definitely worth waiting for.

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California to the New York Island

From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters

This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway

I saw above me that endless skyway

I saw below me that golden valley

This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

While all around me a voice was sounding

Saying this land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling

And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling

A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting,

This land was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California to the New York Island

From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters

This land was made for you and me.

Woody Guthrie  1940
